Dang, so my SA lied to me. She told me can adjust the sensitivity at Proton. Anyway, about 3,000KM more to go for my 10k service, I'll ask them again then.

Lol, 3 weeks to 2 months just get an electronic switch.

Not sure about Iriz alarm module, but basically the auto-locking function might not be working properly already. Can also be caused by a faulty relay, etc. If your car is no longer under warranty, find an accessory shop that won't pressure you to change your entire alarm system.

If you go to Proton, they might find the problem, but dunno how long to wait for parts, as in the case of: Helldiver

Should be no issue. I doubt they changed the internal parts much since first gen.

Tell me about it; I went to 3 Proton dealers to ask for a test drive car for the Iriz, only 1 had it at the time. Best part, none of them actually knew about the cars in a technical sense. For one of them, it was their first time trying out the 60:40 backseat when I asked them to show it. It was so weird.

The one thing I like about Proton so far is that there are no known "serious" issues that causes breakdown (such as fuel pump failure, gearbox issues, etc.), unless of course it's an exclusive case (no production is perfect) - just make sure to stick to maintenance, and service your gearbox according to how much you use the car (e.g., recommended 60,000km for gearbox service, but if a person can reach 10,000km in 2-3 months, better to service the gearbox every 30,000km).

The standard Proton issues are still present: 1) rattling due to the plastic-to-plastic contact at the dashboard and other places (can be fixed DIY with some wire/cloth tape), 2) poor customer service, 3) Campro engine is not EEV certified, so FC is not comparable to a Honda, 4) noisy Silverstone tyres at purchase.

Proton Persona = Proton Iriz, only difference is the boot space. Some people say the Persona a little more quieter - I think it's because the rear wheels are further back? Not sure. I personally went for the Iriz due to the design, and I prefer hatchbacks.

Do you mean the braking distance or brake pedal?

Hmm, yes, I think you need to press the brake pedal further in for braking. Different cars, different pedal sensitivity. I drove my company's Innova and it took me 5 minutes of braking to get used to it; touch a bit, and terus brake. Same thing happened with myvi.

It's normal.

Wait, you switch on the hazard lights when your're reversing? Why?? There's already a reverse light.

Actually, how does this happen? Actual mileage only 21k but already send major service (60k)?

Edit: Is it because of time? Follow months/years instead of mileage?

Omg. 21k only after 3 years.

Did they tell you how they service the aircond? My friend's car has this lembab/mildew smell; changed the filter still same. I saw in youtube, and they guy just sprayed some anti-mildew into the outside air-intake; supposedly solves the problem.

Last salute to crayzee. Thanks for all the tips and procedures to make the car much more drivable. Hehe

You sayang RM50 tyres? Kek

Can change.

It's link to their panel insurer. If you sign up with any of their panels, then you will receive the betterment benefit.

Here's a list o the panel insurers: https://www.carsifu.my/news/proton-announce...-for-car-buyers

Great bargain. Many people couldn't get a trade-in for their Silverstones.

What the... your stock was Goodyear? U bought their display unit or what?

I managed to play youtube videos before using easyconnect: 1) connect via easyconnect, 2) exit easyconnect on the car display unit, 3) press home button on the phone. 4) launch youtube on the phone, 5) launch easyconnect on the car's display unit again. This procedure had problems after the easyconnect update, now I haven't tried again.

Bypass cable for the Iriz might cause issues with the voice commands, and not sure it will work for the 2019 FL version.

The "follow me home" feature is manually activated, I think. You have to press the lock button on the key twice, or use the left lever behind the steering by turning on and off the lights after turning off the car. Not sure if can be automated.

I saw some youtube comments on starting the Persona/Iriz, according to the video uploader (may be some SA), he said better press the start button 2 times before pressing the brake pedal and start the car. Basically, he's asking to enter full accessory mode before starting the car. His reason is to jaga the electronics. Is this true?

Hmm, for 2019 version, have to press 2x for instrument cluster lights to turn on. After testing, I believe it is the same if you "press 2x first before starting the car", or "straightaway starting the car".

When I pressed 2x, the instrument cluster turns on, the needles go from left to right, and when I start the car, the RPM goes up like normal.

The exact thing happens when I straight away start the car (without pressing the button 2x), while the engine starts, the instrument cluster turns on, the needles go from left to right, and RPM goes up like normal.

In older cars, we were told to wait for certain lights like ABS to switch off when the key is at ignition, before turning on car, so that the PCM reads the various sensors before starting up, and it should also save your starter from failing. Nonetheless, this method was actually mainly true for older cars without fuel injector

But these lights turn on and off so fast nowadays, even when I press 2x. IMO, I highly doubt the electronics would get messed up, as it really feels a lot different to start, it feels like it goes through it's own boot configuration - basically, the ignition system is improved.

If my starter rosak, I'll update.

Does the low beam, normal beam, and high beam work?

Best solution is to get it repaired, since it's not normal. Could be anything from wiring to relay to even fuse issue.
